yes, this is not a max effort though. simply a get it going with what i have laying around build. i have a 370" motor on the stand getting fixed, the 5.3 is the "spare" motor, lol.
i agree though, if i was to do a max effort 5.3, i'd be looking to get it up to around 11.5:1 or so. or even more and go to e85, but i'm not looking to change up the whole car, lol.
hmm...i do have a set of 4.8 flattops...maybe next go 'round...for now i'll keep what i have.

the car normally has an 11.5:1 370 in it...i am not looking to change the entire car, just wondering what this junkyard motor will do while i'm freshening the 370.

well, i took it out to the track this past saturday. nothing spectacular to report as i was on a hardtire, and had 200lbs of ballast in the back trying to make it work. i also had never been down the track with a six speed before. fighting traction between the hardtire and the harsh level 3 monster, i was able to get a best of 12.70@113mph, 2.05 60', 3700#s and 730' DA. so far i'm pretty happy with it. i can't wait to get the slicks back on the car and leave off the 2step, as well as get this 200# of concrete out of the trunk, lol!
for the record, i still haven't done much carb tuning, and as of today, i now only have 7 passes under my belt with a stick, and only 2 were clean, lol. i have plenty of work ahead of me, but wanted to share my findings, and not just let this thread die as so many do. i anticipate 11 second capable timeslips before the end of the season.
i'm still months away from being able to spray the car too....i need to redo the wiring in the car, and i want to integrate the system into the car when i do so.
